Colombia arrive with belief after a strong group stage, with Luis Díaz again central to their hopes of turning promise into a deep World Cup run. Ghana, meanwhile, bring knockout pedigree and the kind of direct, physical threat that can quickly make favourites uncomfortable.

The winner will face Switzerland in the last 16, so this is a huge opportunity for both sides. Colombia may have the sharper attacking edge, but Ghana have built plenty of their World Cup story on refusing to follow the script.
